#37 Gravity & Motion Notes
• Velocity changes 9.8 meters per second due to gravitational force.
1s 9.8 m/s 2s 19.6 m/s
3s 29.4 m/s
• You can calculate the velocity of a falling object using the formula
v = g ● t g= acceleration due to gravity t= fall time
• EX: What is the velocity of the soccer ball when it falls for 3 seconds?
v = 9.8m/s2 ● 3 s v = 29.4 m/s
• All objects should fall at the same rate, but air resistance makes this not happen
• Air resistance is the force that opposes motion of falling objects through air– Amount of air resistance depends on size, shape and speed
• Terminal Velocity is when the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance – Acceleration stops at terminal velocity and you fall at a constant velocity

• Free Fall – when the only force acting on an object is gravity– Not possible on earth
Air Resistance
GravityForce of gravity is larger than air resistance so acceleration is occuring Air Resistance
GravityBalanced force between gravity and air resistanceNo acceleration = terminal velocity

#38 Gravity Questions to Ponder
• Which item would fall more quickly to the ground, an acorn or a leaf? Explain why?
• If gravity is the same for all objects on Earth, why don’t all objects fall at the same speed?
• What is terminal velocity? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
• Why does free fall not really exist on Earth?
Tuesday November 29, 2011Warm Up
What is an unbalanced force?
a. Any force acting on an object
b. A force that changes the motion of an object
c. A force that stops an object ONLY
d. A force that moves an object ONLY

# 39 Orbiting and Projectile Motion#40 Gravity & Projectile Motion Practice
Homework
Complete #40
#39 Orbiting and Projectile Motion• Free fall – when the ONLY force acting on an object is gravity.
– In all cases on earth there is no free fall b/c of air resistance– Where in the universe is gravity the only force?
• Free Fall in SPACE causes orbiting
How orbiting works: 1. The planet has inertia, itWants to continue in the same direction2. Gravity pulls the planet toward the sun3. The planet keeps trying to continue With its inertia, but gravity pulls Creating an orbit
Planet’s inertia
• Projectile Motion- the curved path an object follows when it is thrown near the surface of the Earth– 2 parts : vertical motion, horizontal motion
– The horizontal motion is from you throwing the ball– Horizontal motion is parallel to the ground &
remains constant once it leaves your hand
– The vertical motion is perpendicular to the ground. – Once the ball leaves your hand gravity can pull the
object 9.8m/s2 toward the ground
How does vertical and horizontal motion create a curved path?
#40 Gravity & Projectile Motion Practice
• Textbook pg 157 # 2-6• Describe 3 situations where projectile motion
occurs. Illustrate and identify the cause of the vertical and horizontal motion in 1 of your situations
Wednesday November 30, 2011Warm Up
Which of the following situations shows projectile motion?
a. A penny falling off a building
b. A frog jumping from lilly pad to lilly pad
c. A baseball being thrownd. Both b & c show projectile
motion
